Think this is outrageously expensive? Think again! July 9, 2006

Rarely -- all TOO rarely -- are items priced at the top of the line *truly* deserving of their price & position, but the Diamancel Tough Buffer *is* one of them (& I say that as a compulsive comparison shopper & clipper of coupons who will wait months, if necessary, to purchase something at a sale price!).
Two summers ago I spent my entire summer in sandals. My feet were happy, but my heels & the outer edges of my soles developed calluses *so* thick that they could fairly have been called "hooves"! As cooler weather approached, I realized that my feet required conscientious tending in order to restore them to a state where my D.H. would want to resume playing footsies with them on cool winter nights. I therefore began trying to erode my thick calluses with pumice & various cheap buffers & slathered my feet in tube after tube of foot treatments. This resulted in marginal improvement, but *so* slowly that I nearly despaired of ever fully excavating the softer skin lurking beneath the horny veneer! Then a friend recommended the Diamancel Tough Buffer (& "Pretty Feet & Hands" moisturizer) -- & I made more progress in restoring my feet to their former tender glory in the following 8 days than I'd managed to make with cheap buffers & pumice stones in the preceding 8 weeks!
The Diamancel tough buffer efficiently "sands" away dead skin, then rinses off quickly & completely under running water. Is the surface really made of diamonds? I don't know, I just know that it really, really works really, really well!
When D.H. complimented me, whilst playing footsies a few nights later, on the recovered softness of my feet, I casually mentioned the Diamancel buffer & its ostensibly outrageous price. Since he's even cheaper than I am, I braced myself for a storm of protest, but he only observed -- mildly -- that I'd probably wasted several times more on ineffective tools & products than the price of the Diamancel Tough Buffer. When my D.H. is right, he's right!
I've been using the buffer at least once a week for a couple of years now & it still works as well as it did the day I bought it & doesn't yet show any sign of wear. I therefore suspect that I will be using it for another 10-20 years at this rate, which would make it one of the most *economical* personal care purchases of my life. And if you're in the market for a nail file, check out the Diamancel nail files, which also work beautifully, appear never to wear out & are available here at Amazon as well (at least they are as I'm typing this).
